So a little while ago, Halloween in fact, I threw together a demo of some face-detection stuff I’d been looking at. [Check out the original post here.] We originally had the demo on the MMT Digital homepage, but recently that’s been updated and my demo got lost in the process, so I’ve restored it here, along with the Flex project for it.
In a non-too-subtle way, I thought I’d drum up a bit more enthusiasm for this years’ Christmas Game, by showing you a few of the solutions that people have come up with for the levels.
Oh yes, it works for the first level, but just you try that on some of the later ones…
That’s the basic principle for solving the later levels…
It’s that time of year again – and after a week or so of furiously learning Box2D, we at MMT Digital have just released our seasonal Flash game into the wild. The idea is all about building bridges across gaps in the terrain, using Box2D to simulate your resulting creation.
You can check it out here: Play “Building_Bridges” now.
Here’s a bit of Friday afternoon fun for you. I was playing around with some Actionscript face detection libraries last night, combined them with a webcam, some dynamic overlays, and voila! Augmented Reality, and just in time for Halloween too. You will need a webcam to try it out yourself, as it’s just an early prototype, but we thought it was cool enough to stick on the company homepage for a short while.
Update: You can see a live version and download the source code, from this post.
The Flash Player is due to get built-in DRM, sometime soon. Actually it seems odd that it’s not already in there, but perhaps this means a little more flexibility in Flash video is on the way. My initial thoughts on hearing about DRM are slightly coloured by the whole issue with music and DRM, but thinking about it, maybe if the Flash Player can handle the DRM itself, we can stop having to stream everything all the bloody time!
Here’s a couple of links, which talk about this announcement in a little more detail;
